The gene mutated in bare patches and striated mice encodes a novel 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase
X-linked dominant disorders that are exclusively lethal prenatally in hemizygous males have been described in human and mouse1. None of the genes responsible has been isolated in either species. The bare patches ...
